The Treasure Ship of Zheng He.

Based on a real fleet! In the early 1400s, China was building the largest ships in the world, and then they decided they didn't want to. Some may have been 400 feet long, and you can buy a very expensive model of the flagship.

I laughed out loud at this Edward Sorel New Yorker cover cartoon of 2/12/1996. Dead presidents playing poker in Heaven. Taft? at 12 o'clock, then Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Nixon, Washington?, FDR, and finally Jackson about to shoot Nixon who got caught cheating.
